Tired but happy, Victor Wassack, a senior in forest management at NC State, stood in front of the cameras and thanked his mentor, NC State alumnus Logan Scarborough, and the hometown crowd for helping him find the strength to pull off the tie-breaking win for the title of Southern Collegiate Champion of the Stihl Timbersports Series. He will represent the southern region at the national championship in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, June 1-3, 2012.
The televised Stihl event was held at the Raleigh Farmers Market, March 16, and was held in conjunction with the 55th Annual Southern Forestry Conclave and the North Carolina Arbor Day Celebration.
All events were well attended and the Stihl event has been covered widely in the media. Check out the articles, videos, and TV shows below to learn more about what the buzz is all about and how Victor reigned victorious.
